brake squeal?

Got my CS for about two week and so far I added about 600 miles to it. Today I noticed the brake noise when slowing down at a light/stop sign. Can someone tell me if this is normal or should I take it in for service? This is the first time that I notice the brake squeal.

Not normal my friend. Take it in. I have 18k miles since buying in December. I would know.

Re: brake squeal?

Only get brake noise if the car has been in the wet and left to stand for enough time for a layer of rust to build up on the disc's. Usually takes at least a day or so though. Clears quickly after a few stops though.

Probably not the problem you describe...hope it all checks out at the dealer.

Re: brake squeal?

Try some hard braking stops from speed if you haven't already. See if that fixes it. Might be glazed. Brakes need bedding in. If it doesn't go away, take to dealer.

Re: brake squeal?

Thanks guys. I will try out the hard braking stop and see if this will solve the problem. Contacted the dealer and they recommended hard braking as well.

Re: brake squeal?

Same thing happened to me, also at about 600-1000 miles. Squealing at stops, etc, just like you describe. Did the hard braking thing at speed (as recommended by my dealer as well). The squeals went away really on their own (I'm not sure the hard braking really did anything), and I only occasionally now hear them (I have 3500 miles on my S Cab). If they get worse = dealer visit. I suspect they will get better by themselves.

Huh....Is this exercise for the "track" or everyday new car purchases?
